Ken, I don't care whether or not you accept my comments. It is how you and bearcub come across to most of us. You're either part of the solution, or part of the problem. And with your conspiratorial rantings, I'd suggest that you and people who rant like you do, are part of the problem. Your type of personality are probably the reason that gov't leadership is preparing for the worst. They know folks like yourself are bent on spreading and maximizing the panic rather than working to spread a common sense perspective of preparedness. There are people in gov't who believe that the White House should be more proactive in advising folks to stockpile a month or more of vital supplies like food and batteries, just to have a prudent contingency plan to some unknown disruption that takes us by surprise. The problem is that the wackos out there like yourself, they know the minute that anyone recommends a common sense approach, you'll play it up for what ever you can get, stirring emotions and panic to the point that people start doing some really stupid things to themselves and to the economy. So they say nothing because they're damned if they do, damned if they don't. All because of an over-representation of irrational conspiratorialists in this nation, like yourself. One of these days, you'll do us all a favor and find a different thread to "troll" on for attention.
